From foam to fabric, imagination to reality, Redfield Designs transforms raw materials into extraordinary creations. Key City Steampunk Presents: Worlds of Tomorrow is thrilled to welcome back Redfield Designs this August 7th thu the 9th at the Wyndham Gettysburg.

Redfield knows that everyone needs to start somewhere when starting a new hobby, especially one as all-encompassing as cosplay, and it isn’t always pretty but it can get better. For the past 15 years she striven to create cosplays that push her skills outside her comfort zone, but we don’t gate keep. She loves sharing what she has learned from these experiences with her audience, from the highest highs (winning Master of Cosplay in 2023) to the lowest lows (buying a third wig for one cosplay because she messed up the first two beyond recognition ). Redfield has taken this passion and turned it into a rewarding career in costuming for theater as well as teaching sewing. She is most active on her Instagram where she shares her crafting life, tips and tricks as well as mental health check in’s but for longer, more in depth information her website is a treasure trove of cosplay builds past and how she made them her own.
